Penn Slammer Classic 260 — Reliable Power in a Compact Spinning Reel

The Penn Slammer Classic 260 brings full-metal durability and smooth performance to light saltwater and inshore applications. Built on the legendary Slammer platform with modern upgrades, this reel delivers exceptional value for anglers who demand rugged construction and dependable drag power.

Full Metal Construction for Saltwater Duty

The 260 features a full metal body and sideplates that provide the rigidity needed for consistent performance in harsh saltwater conditions. The machined and anodized aluminum spool resists corrosion, while the triple-supported, oversized stainless steel main shaft ensures rock-solid alignment under load. At 359 g, it balances perfectly with light to medium spinning rods.

HT-100 Carbon Drag with 4.9 kg Stopping Power

Oversized HT-100 carbon drag washers deliver 4.9 kg of maximum drag with the smoothness required to handle hard-fighting inshore species. The 5+1 shielded stainless steel ball bearings and Techno-balanced rotor provide effortless retrieves, while the Instant Anti-Reverse ensures solid hooksets. The improved bail design manages line reliably, backed by Penn's Leveline wrap system for even spool distribution.
